Ibeyi play set on Seattle’s KEXP-FM
The twin duo played a captivating four-song set, including renditions of ‘Ghost’ and ‘Mamma Says’.
Having just finished up their zig-zagging tour of North America, Ibeyi swung by Seattle’s KEXP-FM station to perform a flawless four-song set. Lisa-Kaindé and Naomi Diaz played three tracks from their self-titled debut; ‘Ghost’, ‘Mamma Says’, and ‘River’. They also played a cover of Jay Electronica’s ‘Better In Tune With The Infinite’.
Ibeyi also chatted to host Stevie Zoom inbetween songs, speaking about their French-Cuban heritage, multilingual lyrics, and touring the U.S. They were especially enthusiastic when he called the video for ‘River’ “haunting,” and revealed that it was filmed in one take.
Watch Ibeyi’s short set below - it’s riveting from start to finish:
